SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 267,734, dated November 21, 1882.

1 Application filed June 712, 1882. (No model.)

clare the following,t0 be a full, clear, and ex act description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it apto pertains to make and use the same, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, and to letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which forma part of this specification.

,My invention relates to improvements in two-way faucets, and pertains more especially, first, to the device by which the two valves are simultaneously operated as the handle is revolved; second, to the peculiar construction and relative arrangement of the valve-chamher, barrel, valve-stem, and handle, said handle being located at the discharge end of the barrel, and said stem communicating therefrom to said valve-chamber through said barrel, as shown.

My invention is further explained by reference to the accompanying drawings,in which- Figure 1 represents a longitudinal section. Fig. 2 is atransverse section of the valvechamber, the chamber in Fig. 1 being drawn on line no a: of Fig. 2.

Like parts (II'GIBPIQSGDtQd by the same rel"- erence-letters in both views.

A is the handle.

B is the barrel.

0 is the valve-stem.

I) is the valve-chamber.

E is the outlet or spout.

F and, G are the inlet-ports to the valve or water chamber, through one of which ports hot water and through the other cold water is admitted to the chamber, as desired. The Water thus admitted passes from the chamber through the barrel B, around stem (J, and out through spout E, as indicated.

J is a crank lormed upon or attached to the end of the valve-stem O.

K is a wrist-pin formed upon the end of said crank, and is adapted to describe a circle around said spindle as the handle is revolved. Both of the valve-rods L and M are loosely attached to the wrist-pin K, whereby they are simultaneously operated and said inlet-ports simultaneouslyopened and closed oralternately opened and closed, as desired, by revolving said handle.

Thus it is obvious that by the peculiar relative arrangement of said valves to each other and the crank I am enabled by the action of a single crank, as it describes a circle, either toward the right or left, to admit either hot or cold water separately, or both simultaneously, as well as to stop the admission of both hot and cold water.

Having thus described my invention, \vh at I claim as new, and desire LO. secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a hot-and-cold-water faucet, the combination, in a single water-chamber, of two valves with a single crank-pin adapted by the p culiar relative arrangement of said valves to said crank-pin to be both simultaneously and alternately opened and closed by the rotation and M, crank-pin K, valve-stem O, and handle A, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof Iaffix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
